gas station witha stupid name and a large skunk as it's symbol. Remember... Idaho still has wild animals roaming it's major cities (criters that is).

Back in the days of plentiful gas, an enterprising guy by the name of Farris (aka "Fearless Farris") caught on that refineries would rather sell their gasoline at a lower price than shut down their refineries.

After their contracts with all the distributors were filled, Farris would buy his gas and sell it at a lower price than all the major stations could.

He was nicknamed the "Stinker" for doing that. He liked the nickname and adopted the "sign of the skunk" for his advertising.

Hence, "Stinker Stations."

That's an excellent way to get out of a huge IRS problem. Usually the first party must pay taxes on the winnings, then take a charitable deduction, (ie Uncle Sam takes his cut first.)
